Designing Corequisite Pathways for Multilingual Learners - Part 1

The professional learning module, presented by Julia Raufman, Dr. Rosario Torres, and Dr. Emily Suh, explored designing corequisite pathways for multilingual learners. Presenters examined research on corequisite models and shared examples from CUNY and BMCC, highlighting asset-based pedagogy, integrated language and content, faculty collaboration, and aligned placement and advising. The session emphasized recognizing students’ strengths, reducing barriers to credit-bearing courses, and aligning curriculum, assessments, and instructional supports. Reflection and discussion encouraged participants to examine their pathways and identify strategies for supporting multilingual learners’ access, progress, and success.
